Teaching Experience

Field Experience

I have 12 years experience teaching homeschooling to my 4 children and several home-school coops. Within that experience I served as Chairman of the Board and Mentor of several robotics teams for 10 years. As a Music Minister and a Music teacher I have 20+ years of experience teaching piano, using music therapy skills with special needs children, adult and children’s choirs,children and adult handbells, contemporary bands,and liturgical dance. I also have experience teaching bible studies, and small groups in children’s sunday school and adult study settings. The last two years I have started my own self publishing company called Robotmom Publishing to create home-school curriculum that is multi-sensory for ages 4-9 to continue my teaching interest.

I was called into ministry at the age of 35 and went back to school to receive my Master of Divinity and then my Doctorate of Ministry degree. I am an ordained minister and have served on staff at local churches for 13+ years as a Music Minister. For three years following that period, I felt led in the direction of pastor, and formed a missional faith community with ages 17-27 in my home, the local college, and coffee shop. God has given me such a heart for young people and an awareness of how God is present and working outside the four walls in the greater community. That is where I love to serve most, engaged in the community in the work that God is already doing, creating Jesus culture in the world.

I love writing! I’m in the process of writing and self publishing my first sci-fi trilogy. Being creative brings me lots of joy so you might find me making crafts or painting using different mediums. I just recently started my own crochet group and donate hats and prayer shawls to hospitals through a local church ministry. My husband and I travel to spend time with our four children and my one grandson. Being with friends one on one or with young people renews my spirit and is how God uses me many times. At home, my two Chihuahua dogs, Sargeant and Sadie keep me very busy.
